Candle mirage in temptress signs
through curved delicate flow
over clusters of darkness
found in crows call,
opened is the wrought gate
enter if will.
enter temptations night
falling, calling deeper to the edge
dawn never comes, once entered
open to you on the devils wing
candle illuminated through touch
touch the flesh
that dies in dark shadows, dreary
hold ever vision to unknown
over idols not pure and innocent
lost in times wave over sanity
creeping, penatrating what all is good
lashed and leashed never to return
to comforts of simple love

Very dank and dark dreary feel to this that really works for the picture! Great take.
